Senglea Athletic form and stats

With 0 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Senglea Athletic, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Senglea who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Lija Athletic, 114 days ago. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Hibernians Stadium, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Zejtun Corinthians game.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 238 minutes without scoring a league goal. D. Xuereb was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager V. Tomic led his Senglea to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Hibernians. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Hibernians Stadium. Prior to that, an away loss at Gzira United.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Senglea, as the Premier League home game vs Lija Athletic is only three days away.

Senglea has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 6 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Senglea have allowed the opposition to score 15 goals here at Hibernians Stadium.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sirens are hosting Hamrun Spartans in the Premier League only three days away.

Sirens are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. As for defending, Sirens rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 12 goals from these away matches.
